1.) Use a table of Standard Reduction Potentials to predict if a
reaction will occur when Mg metal is put into a 1M
aqueous H+solution.
If a reaction will occur, write a balanced net ionic equation for
the reaction. If no reaction will occur, leave all boxes blank.
2.) Use a table of Standard Reduction Potentials to predict if a
reaction will occur between Zn metal and
I2(s), when the two
are brought in contact via standard half-cells in a voltaic
cell.
If a reaction will occur, write a balanced net ionic equation for
the reaction, assuming that the product ions are in aqueous
solution. If no reaction will occur, leave all boxes blank.

Ethyl alcohol has a vapor pressure of 20 mm Hg at 8 C and a
normal boiling point of 78.4 C.
Estimate the vapor pressure at 45 C using (a) the Antoine
equation
(b) the Clausius–Clapeyron equation and the two given data points;
and (c) linear interpolation
between the two given points. Taking the first estimate to be
correct, calculate the percentage error associated with the second
and third estimates.

Physical Chemistry
hurricanes form when water vapor at the surface of the ocean(ca. 80 F) exchanges with the high altitude cooler air (ca. -120 F). During the ascent, the coriolis force of the earth creates massively destructive winds. in this sense, the hurricane is a heat engine whose upper bound on efficiency can be estimated from the second law. a typical hurricane condenses about 90 million tons of water per hour
a)Calculate the theoretical maximum efficiency of the hurricane, modeling the hurricane as a carnot engine
b)Modeling the hurricane as carnot engine, use the standard heat of vaporization for water to estimate the power output a hurricane can produce in W

Part A: Describe the metabolic pathway in which Urea is produced, starting with free ammonium (NH4+) in the mitrochondria. What key intermediates are created? Which enzymes are needed to perform these transformations? How does this cycle relate to the TCA cycle?
Part B: Purines also need to be catabolized and removed from the body. What chemical form(s) does/do these purine-degradation product take? How to these products differ between species (e.g., mammals, birds, amphibians)?
Part C: Describe what happens when there are defects in the purine catabolic pathways. What sorts of diseases are a results the buildup of purine degradation products?

Part B: Justify the exergonic nature of each of these steps. What is it about each step that leads to its spontaneous nature? Are any of these steps reversible? Why or why not? If not, how does the body overcome this lack of reversibility?

1. Consider the gas-phase reaction of PCl5, for which the equilibrium constant has the value of 11.5 at 300 degrees Celsius:
PCl5 (g) <---> PCl3 (g) +Cl2 (g)
a. Suppose enough PCl5 is placed in a flask of a certain volume at 300 degrees Celsius such that the initial pressure of PCl5 is 1.500 atm. Calculate the equilibrium pressure for each of the three gases, and also calculate the fraction of PCl5 that has dissociated to reach equilibrium. (If "x" is the amount that reacted, and "c" is the initial amount, then "x/c" is the fraction reacted.)
